Overcast, with spells of light rain and a moderate/strong north-north-west wind. A pale ‘dilute’ Fulmar represented the highlight of a seawatch that also featured two Woodcock flying in off. The sea off South Dykes offered shelter to a Great Northern Diver, seven Great Crested Grebes, a drake Goosander, a drake Tufted Duck, four Eider and five Long-tailed Ducks. In addition, 80 Pink-footed Geese flew north, two Siskins visited a village garden and a Snow Bunting was on the Golf Course.

Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Short-eared Owl and five Snow Buntings, with the latter flying north-west.
